lodges · 30km upstream of Victoria Falls, Zambezi River · Zambia
Zambia's only Relais & Châteaux property — a family-run river lodge with the polish you'd expect and the substance you'd hope for, including a Foundation School the lodge funds itself.
Zambia's first and only Relais & Châteaux property.
Royal Chundu encompasses two lodges, River Lodge and Island Lodge, both with views of the Zambezi.
A note from the founder
“I had walked through the streets of cities around the world and stayed in various hotels and lodges and often felt something being lost, the authentic taste, feel and look of the land itself. For Royal Chundu, I've worked to slowly transform it into a lodge that is 100% Zambian in every way, in the treatments and products used in massages, the ingredients used and dishes created by our chefs, in the sourcing of our designs and art. And importantly with our staff. Our team on the ground is 100% Zambian, with managers being stakeholders in the lodge. This creates a place where guests experience true Zambia, in one of the most beautiful settings on a private 15 km waterway of the Zambezi, and benefits the direct community.”
